"I have been part of a women’s circle, led by Sunita. for just under a year. This group of six, each member uniquely acquainted to Sunita, but none previously to each other, meets weekly (via Zoom), where together we do guided meditations, and share what’s true for us at that moment. Sunita is gifted in her ability to make each person feel heard and validated. She fosters a loving and non-judgmental dynamic among the members of the group, such that we all feel incredibly safe and supported, as if we were all talking to lifelong friends. Sunita has done and continues to do extensive work on her own “stuff”, and from this, she is able to help each of us hone in on our respective issues that need attention, and offer incredibly valuable guidance to help us work through them. This weekly gathering is one that each member of our group cherishes deeply. I wholeheartedly recommend joining a group led by Sunita, provided that you are willing to be introspective, non-judgmental and supportive. For me, at least, it’s been a game-changer."

“Sunita organized a women’s circle during the pandemic which I was a part of. There were seven of us from all different walks of life (and time zones!). Sunita created and cultivated a nurturing environment for deep connection and healing to occur. We met for two hours on a weekly basis in a safe, discreet container. With Sunita’s care and guidance we were able to share and engage in heart opening discussions that allowed each of us to witness and hold space for one another in a beautiful way. I often found myself sharing experiences I was ashamed of or still carrying around with me. When I felt the support of the circle and the witnessing of other’s vulnerability, true healing emerged. Sunita’s presence, intuitive nature and skillful way of guiding women through darkness and back into the light is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Exquisite!”

"A women’s circle with Sunita feels like I’m taking a creative painting course. She shows us what’s possible, shows us some ideas to get us started, and then we take over the brush when we individually become ready. Naturally we drift off and she gently guides us back to addressing the deeper meaning of our paintings. Of course every person’s painting will be different, but they will each be a more authentic version than when we started. Maybe I am my painting, but instead of Sunita helping me layer the coats on top of one another, she is helping me remove the layers of guilt, shame, resentment, and so on. She is helping to uncover what has been there all along, what has been silenced and shushed and told to sit down for so many years. She helps us to (re)discover our own vibrance. A women’s circle with Sunita is delightful and painful, unflinching and safe. And throughout, we hold each other close as we come to know ourselves aided by the gentle yet probing gaze of our peers. Join a circle to see and be seen, to encourage others and ultimately to heal yourself."

"My women's circle is on Fridays. Now Friday has become 'Happy Friday'. Every week I look forward to the circle. For me the circle is like this magical bubble, a bubble where I encounter beautiful friends and things are so at peace. Issues, worries, problems, they still exist, but it feels like in this "safe space" I can pause them, hold them in the palm of my hand and look at them from all different angles... Once the "play button" is pressed again, somehow they seem easier to digest. I feel very grateful that this opportunity came to my life and I can already see positive changes in myself."

"When I first heard about the Women’s Circle, my mind went down some familiar pathways. First I thought another hippy dippy group of kumbaya women, loving mother earth… I thought of clichés on toxic masculinity... Once you can move past that, and the fact that you are investing some time and money to join the Circle, what you get back from it is resources well spent! My wife comes back happy, centered, focussed, a little bit more thoughtful about what she wants and needs. And so for me, a happy partner makes for a more complete balanced whole in the family. I guess the other thing that was unexpected that I got out of the Women’s Circle, was that even though I am not a part of it, I AM a part of it, because the partners that the women have outside the circle are within the circle, they bring us in there with them. They talk about issues and concerns and ways of addressing things, and we are a part of that solution and a part of that problem. I am grateful to the women’s circle for allowing that space to be a created and for allowing those thoughts to mature and evolve and change over time, and for being inclusive. I am often reminded of the definition of sovereignty that has been used amongst some of the native tribes of North America, where the idea of sovereignty isn’t about how well you can defend your borders, or your divisions, or your ideas, but how well you can expand the circle to include others in it. I am grateful to the Women’s Circle, for family building as well as for nation building, for my mental health and my well being with my wife."

For me, my women's circle has been a way to push through some difficult issues in my life, to share vulnerable moments and to grow in my understanding of myself and my connection with others. The Circle means 2 hours per week, reserved just for me, that I look forward to every week. It has also been a place to connect and share with other women around the same age, going through the roller coaster of life while developing tools to take care of ourselves.
